My system setup is NT4 service pack 3 , cygwin 19 , egcs 1.1 , cygwin19.dll version 2 and the ipc/shm stuff by llange AT capgemini DOT fr I am in the process of porting an unix app that i use from unix to windows, it uses the serial port to transfer small amounts of information between 2 machines, in cygnus this appeared to work fine except that the select() call on the serial filedes doesnt appear to return the correct results , it always indicates that there is data waiting on the descriptor when there isnt! the select call i also being used on a network stream and that does work!! After much fiddleing about i decided to try the coolview dll to see if that fixed the problem, trouble is that all the signals between the child process performing the io and the parent cease when i use any cygwin32b19 other than version 1 or 2 Any help would be apreciated! Oh also why does syslog insist on outputting to the console? how do i just have the messages go into the application event log only?!?
